Want to Buy The Americans

[pstake]

I'm not a collector and I'm not looking for a collector's item. Any kind of edition at all, is fine. I just want a copy to look at, preferably one with the Kerouac introduction.

I got a copy from the Book Depository a couple of years ago, but it looks like they currently only stock a Chinese version... AbeBooks will probably have something.

If you want to buy the new 50th anniversary edition, which Robert Frank oversaw the printing of. Steidl produces beautiful stuff.

The only one better than the Stedl Press anniversary edition is the original Grove Press pub. in '57. Stedl copy is larger and 'better' printing. Just a copy of the book, most outlets have them, Amazon and so forth. Good luck. One other note, Frank is 'pure photography' at its best, others to look at are Winogrand, Klein, Atget, Friedlander---just a few to name of many.

This expanded edition is worth getting even if you already have The Americans-
